JamboJohn1874 Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 Seems to me the vast bulk of supporters are frankly baffled by the managers questionable tactics, formations and mindnumbinhly bad substitutions. If he intends doing this job in the longer term, it might be an idea for him to come out and try explain some of his thinking and keep the supporters on side. At the moment we are on a collision course and frustration is building up seeing a team not playing a well as it could. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Getintaethem Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 It would be interesting to know why he took sow off.Why he played two holding middielders against one of the weakest teams in the league. He took Sow off in order to go 4-5-1 from what I could see, think he was trying to protect the lead (not a decision I agreed with btw). I don't think Buaben is a holding midfielder, he just didn't play very well. I thought Robbie should have taken Buaben off for Swanson, but we were winning at the time, so he may have been wary of leaving the defence exposed. People have been complaining about not playing 4-4-2, then when we do, they still complain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Getintaethem Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 We made enough chances to win three games, an over officious referee didn't help, and they scored with their only real shot on goal.

Francis Albert Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 plumbing new depths now. I didn't agree with the subs but he successfully set us up to dominate for most of the game the equaliser had nothing to do with the subs - soft free and poor defending of the set piece. but yes robbie should invite the media in to explain his tactics, before the game so jlb can comment and advise.

Dr. Sheldon Cooper Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 Sow being replaced wasn't exactly a surprise, think he's only lasted the 90 minutes once all season. Swanson probably wasn't the right player to bring on for him though. Not an awful lot wrong with our tactics yesterday to be honest. We played well in the first half and should have scored a few more. Second half we maybe sat too deep at times and it looked like we'd settled for a 1-0. Maybe not the wisest idea but I don't think anybody expected Kilmarnock to score the way the game was going, and the goal pretty much came from nothing. It forced Neilson into going back to 4-4-2 and the red card killed our chances of finding a winner. Not taking our chances was the biggest problem yesterday.

wavydavy Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 who did he play out of position yesterday? and ages? really? maybe if you have the attention span of a not too bright goldfish I don't think he was referring to players being played out of position in yesterday's game it was a generalisation as it has happened this season in other games. I think since the Hamilton game we have been quite poor and you also have to remember the clue to where the guy lives is in his name. So don't think he gets to many games so is reliant on Hearts Tv or similar and forums such as this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

graves2002 Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 Curious how every single manager in US sport has to attend a press conference after every game on pain of large fines and suspensions for not turning up or acting like a total dick. Is it possible that they know how important keeping their customers informed is to the health of the sport? Just like salary caps and instant replay to prevent bent refs from throwing matches.

portobellojambo1 Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 No i never said explain on a forum.Whats wrong with a statement on the official hearts website or in the following game programme or if he does twitter.Im no sure mate still trying to get over a massive lost chance yesterday. Robbie has already explained that he believes it was our failure to convert scoring chances that cost us yesterday. While it is impossible to say anything other than if all the chances we created yesterday had ended up in the net the game would have been over much earlier the truth is that even at the point of the substitution and only 1-0 there only looked like one end result, and that was 1-0 minimum. The reasons for the substitution, which totally changed the game, are going to have to remain a mystery (I would have hoped Robbie would have learned from the League Cup tie down at Rugby Park a few days earlier that they look better when able to play in the middle of the park, but have nothing when being pinned back. To then change in the next game against the same opposition from pinning them back to allowing them to take control of the middle of the park just makes no sense at all).

Jambof3tornado Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 The manager is never aswerable to the fans but several times Mr Robbie has made subs which have clearly been incorrect. Taking Sow off yesterday was a massive mistake which saw us defend 10 yards deeper and invited pressure which added to our poor finishing cost us 2 points.
